2048

[Avi]

I don't know how many of you know the game 2048.
It is a 4X4 square where you start with a single cell with the number 2 and you need to swap them (each swap adding another cell with the number 2 or 4) and you need to connect them: 2+2=4, 4+4=8 etc.
The purpose of the game is to reach 2048.
After figuring out the idea I decided to try getting the highest possible score.
I started my latest attempt (easy to fail when there is very little space for errors, if any, since you can UNDO only the last move) early April and 2 weeks ago I succeeded to reach the highest score.
You can't get more than that.



You need a lot of patience for it 
Now I'm looking for something else to do at my breaks.

Maybe you could try to use Horn Clauses / Prolog to code the problem and set the PC solving it :-)

Anyway, many intersting read over the Internet - I wasn'«t even aware of it ... Thx for sharing !

I wonder how his high score (3867384) is lower than mine (3889428).
